Ah Dai took the steamed bun, saying, "Since we are cooperating with them, why can't we be sincere with each other? Hiding everything doesn't seem right."
Xuan Yue rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice: "What do you understand? My father taught me, 'You should not harbor ill intensions towards others, but you must always guard against others.' Better to be cautious. I particularly dislike that Yue Ji. She's obviously not a good character. Stay away from her. Understood?"
Ah Dai nodded, saying: "I understand." He thought to himself: I found her much nicer than you. At least, she seems to have a better temper.
Xuan Yue scooted out from the tent, and ran to Moon Scar, "Is the fire still not lit after all this time?"
Moon Scar replied: "It's summertime, the air is quite humid. Even though it's warm, it's very damp here, and the firewood is not drying properly. I'm afraid we're going to have to eat some dry rations tonight."
